Windows 10 User Folders Question

I upgraded my Surface Pro from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 recently. I had my user folders (documents, photos,videos, etc.) set to the D drive in Windows 8.1. When I upgraded to Win10, it seemed like my user folders where either returned to their default location or moved to somewhere else entirely. There was also a user name folder created and it has docs,music, photos,etc. in it.

 

I want to know how I could return the folders to their default locations that way I could set up the folders exactly where I want them to be within the d drive. Or is there an eaiser way for me to consolidate everything into a new set of Document, photo,etc folders?

Assuming the default 'Quick Access' folders are still shown in 'This PC' (Win+E), you can right click, say, Documents, then Properties, and choose the destination under the Location tab.
